Oct. 25, 2005 – The Tempo musical concert at the Ann Abramson Pier Thursday is expected to draw a big crowd.

– Custom House Street from Strand Street to the intersection of King and Custom House streets both sides.
– In and around Buddhoe Park.
There will be no parking on Strand Street from 4 p.m. to midnight due to construction.
